Some Meaning Procedures of Ontological Semantics
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents implemented algorithms for interpreting the meaning of certain context-dependent lexical items within the Ontological Semantic text processing environment. We discuss the form, function and rationale behind three meaning procedures, all of which are, in a certain sense, numerically oriented. We show that only a knowledge-rich processing system can fully interpret such entities, and that an integrated combination of static resources and processors provides sufficient foundation for high-quality text interpretation.

New Developments in Ontological Semantics
In this paper we discuss ongoing activity within the approach to natural language processing known as ontological semantics, as defined in Nirenburg and Raskin (forthcoming). After a brief discussion of the principal tenets on which this approach is built, and a revision of extant implementations that have led toward its present form, we concentrate on some specific aspects that are key to the ...
متن کاملA Default-Oriented Theory of Procedural Semantics
Procedural Semantics(PS), broadly construed, is the thesis that the meaning of a symbolic expression may be identified with procedures which specify how the expression is to be used, or applied to the world. J.A. Fodor has characterized PS OS a wildly implausible form of the verification theory of meaning, and has argued that PS constitutes a plausible semantic theory only for highly simplistic...
متن کاملAnalyzing the problem of meaning in Shabastari’s Golshane Raz
Man has always been finding a complete model for semantics since the beginning. A model which can as a paradigm affects all branches of sciences. In the view of author, such a model can be found in Golshane Raz. Introducing the model from the work mentioned, the paper has tried to explain its sub structural foundations in three fields of ontology, epistemology and semantics. Some of the foundat...
متن کاملA Proof-Theoretic Semantics for Transitive Verbs with an Implicit Object
The paper presents a proof-theoretic semantics for sentences headed by transitive verbs allowing an unexpressed (implicit) object. Such sentences are shown to have the same (proof-theoretic) meaning as the same sentences with an explicit existentially quantified object something. This semantics is contrasted with a model-theoretic semantics based on truthconditions in models. The models used co...
متن کاملApplication of Frame Semantics to Teaching Seeing and Hearing Vocabulary to Iranian EFL Learners
A term in one language rarely has an absolute synonymous meaning in the same language; besides, it rarely has an equivalent meaning in an L2. English synonyms of seeing and hearing are particularly grammatically and semantically different. Frame semantics is a good tool for discovering differences between synonymous words in L2 and differences between supposed L1 and L2 equivalents. Vocabulary ...
